Massage Milk and the disaster of journalism in ChinaPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 at 10:52 AM
Massage Milk is China's best blog, in your correspondent's opinion. The blogger, who goes by the name Dai San Ge Biao, writes caustic commentary on Chinese media, and is a master of humorous sarcasm with a Beijing flavor.
Dai San Ge Biao's real name is Wang Xiaofeng. He is a journalist at Life Weekly magazine, of which the latest issue's cover is reproduced here. This is a rough translation of a recent post:
Another recent Massage Milk piece was published on the same day that Xinhua published 'Most reporters in China want to change jobs'. The Massage Milk post was titled called Journalist's Disaster (记者劫), a pun on the words for Journalist's Day (like Mothers Day etc.) Here is a rough translation of the post:
Another good post by Dai San ge Biao was previously published on Danwei:

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
